Salads are a fan–freaking–tastic weight loss food ??
–
They can help fill up your belly for fewer calories and come packed with a smorgasbord of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
–
BUT… and it's a big “but(t)” ?☺️… simply ordering a “salad” does NOT guarantee a weight loss friendly meal ❌…
–
For example, both of these entrees are technically “salads,” and they even come from the same restaurant! However, they have DRASTICALLY different calorie totals ⚖️
–
Heck, the chicken and avocado salad on the left has more calories than most dishes on the entire menu! ?
–
So how can you make sure your salad is weight loss friendly? ? Watching out for high-calorie salad culprits!
–
Some of the most common culprits are calorie dense dressings ?, nuts ?, seeds ?, cheese ?, avocado ?, bacon bits ?, and added oils ??…
–
HERE'S A TIP ✅: ask for dressings and other high-calorie toppings on the side. That way, YOU get to control the portions based on your personal preference & calorie/macronutrient targets ??
